Ardmore 30 Year Old 1987
This expression from the Ardmore Distillery in the Highlands was allowed a rather lengthy maturation - it was distilled in 1987 and rested peacefully for 30 years before being bottled! It was aged in ex-bourbon and first-fill ex-bourbon casks and presented at 47.2% ABV after three decades of slumber.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Dark chocolate, grassy malt, coffee and walnut cake, ash and a well done pear tarte tatin.
Palate
Peppery at first, with a pinch of red chilli flake, before diving back into dark chocolate territory. Some juicy hints of red apple, more pear and every a touch of melon crop up later.
Finish
Smoky on the finish with charred oak and BBQ pineapple.
